Off-duty deputy having a beer videotaped
Staff report Last update: 03 June 2004
BUNNELL -- A videotape submitted anonymously to a local television station shows the Flagler County sheriff's chief deputy drinking alcohol off duty in a public park where drinking is prohibited.
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Debra Johnson said Wednesday the 90-minute tape showed Mark Maronski in civilian clothes drinking one beer at the Flagler County Fairgrounds with other adults after an adult softball game and driving home in his personal vehicle.
She acknowledged the park doesn't allow drinking.
The official Sheriff's Office response was short and direct:
"Sheriff Manfre has counseled his personnel concerning appropriate off-duty behavior. At this time we are concerned about the mental well-being of this person in our county who is apparently trying to secretly videotape activities at the county recreational areas."

I had forgotten it.
Thanks.
Carrie A Nation's spirit is coming back in our land, and that is disturbing.
Or someone who wants the law obeyed by everyone, off-duty cops included.
To a few older women, drinking gives them the only chance they've got.
It seems to have.
That is sad, but true.
I take it from your handle, that you like Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Am I right?
Man, there's a lot of frightening stuff going on in this country.
It could be.
Oh yeah.
The DARE program is it.
The handle actually comes from the River Patrol Boat in the movie Apocalypse Now.
The other PBR is not my beer of choice, but I'm not adverse to a PBR as long as it's nice and cold.
"I enjoy watching Andy Griffith, but the fact that Mayberry was dry, was sad. "
A few years before I got there, the NC college I went to was in a "dry" county. Students had to drive 40 minutes to get beer, and 40 minutes back campus while drinking beer.
By the time I arrived the you could buy beer 7 miles away from campus. Yee-haw.
I am sorry to have assumed it was an older woman, but they are usually the most ardent anti-beer folks.
I hate dry counties.
They are lacking in flavor.
Have you noticed how PBR is making a big come-back as a popular beer?
Yep. Which has driven up its price so it's no longer a good cheap beer.
The kids should be able to think for themselves, but they no longer do so, thanks to psychiatric meds being shoved down their throats.
